It's that time of year…no, not the "most wonderful time" quite yet, but that time of the year when the Wellesley Starbucks has to work extra hard to supply all of Wellesley College with enough caffeine to pull consecutive all-nighters in order to finish papers on time. It's the time of year when girls frantically shuffle through index cards over…

Major Declarations
I guess I'm officially on my way to graduating from Wellesley some day…today I declared myself a French and Political Science double major. I feel a little more relaxed now that I have my future courses planned and written down on paper. My majors are really compatible, and will allow me to satisfy my requirements for both even if I…
Empire State of Mind
Here's to a fantastic Thanksgiving break to all of you in the states! If your turkey dinner was as delicious as mine, then you are probably debating whether or not you ever need to eat again. I think my body can probably subsist off of that one dinner for a week. I hope everyone caught up on sleep, ate great…
Fall FRENZY 2010
Bonjour, Ahhhh, Wednesday is already here. Instead of feeling the typical mid-week fatigue that accompanies Wednesdays, I feel like the Energizer Bunny! This past weekend I visited my boyfriend at Duke. I had a fantastic time and felt inspired to return to Wellesley and work hard until Thanksgiving (only 6 short days away)! Also, just the thought of this weekend…
Thank you, Starbucks
Thanks to everyone who chatted with us last Thursday! Hearing from all of you accomplished women was inspiring! I chatted internationally with prospective students which was really fun. I know the timing of chats can be difficult when you're halfway around the world from those of us at Wellesley, so thanks for your participation! Life has been just swellesley. First…
Busy as a Bee
Hello hello! This week has been and will continue to be a difficult academic week for me. I had a psychology midterm yesterday, I have a French oral exam tomorrow morning, a French quiz on Friday and a huge election group presentation on Friday, too. Ah! I know that this is a busy time for many of you, too. The…
Happy Thursday Note
Almost every Thursday in high school I used to write my boyfriend or my friends a Happy Thursday note. Thursday is an interesting day of the week. It falls after Wednesday's mid-week slump, but before the freedom Friday brings. Tests, papers, class, ect. often taint the potential fun of Thursday nights. In every note, I would write about what I'm…
Take the Day Off
Last week I mentioned that Wellesley alumna Desiree Rogers '81 was coming back to her alma mater to speak about "The Making of a Woman." I'm so glad I went to hear her speech. She truly has had a fantastically successful career: her drive and ambition propelled her through Harvard Business school and off to Chicago where she has taken…
It’s Raining Cats and Dogs
Heyyy there, The past week flew by and now I'm realizing that midterms are coming up much faster than I would like to admit. I have an essay due within the next 2 weeks for my developmental psychology course and my french course, and I have an important American politics midterm next Tuesday. I'm kinda bummed that my professor scheduled…
Feelin’ Like I’m Letting Go
Today is a beautiful fall day but a little humidity lingers from the heavy rains yesterday. The leaves have yet to change colors on campus so it still feels like summer is holding on tight. I'm sure that October will bring some cooler temperatures upon its arrival. This past week has been really busy but fun, too. My society finished…
